Shaun had a laundry list of things he wanted to improve on: nutrient-rich ingredients, balanced macros, quicker cook times, and a higher caloric count.

Simple Gourmet: Game Bone Broth
Bone broth is very simple to make and you can use it in all kinds of recipes that call for stock or broth.
Simple Gourmet: Hunting & Eating Desert Raccoons
I took this raccoon roast to Sunday Dinner at a friend’s house. 16 people ate it and they all agreed that it tasted like a beef roast — what do you expect when it eats the same things as cows each day?

Simple Gourmet: Smoked Summer Sausage with Bear Meat
This summer sausage recipe is ideal for all those animals whose steaks are less delicious than you’d hoped. You can make as much as you like and store it in the freezer. It makes excellent sandwiches and terrific low-carb meals with cheese. Serve it at the Super Bowl party with cheese and crackers. And it’s a must-have for all your upcoming hunts this year. These sausages are a terrific way to share game meat with first-timers. It tastes like sausage and doesn’t have any particularly wild flavors. Friends will see that wild meat taste good.
Simple Gourmet: Bear Stroganoff with Wild Mushrooms
This recipe is seriously hearty and the perfect thing after a long day hunting. Stroganoff is credited as being a Russian dish, and I gotta believe making it with bear meat is more Russian than using beef. Plus, you gotta save the cows to make all the sour cream you’re going to need.
Simple Gourmet: Tenderizing Rock Chucks, Wild Turkeys, etc.
All animals produce tough meat. Somewhere on every animal will be a cut, or many cuts that are just not easy to eat by grilling on a hot flame.
Simple Gourmet: Peak Refuel Backcountry Meals
I’m all for making food from scratch, and this column is normally all about crafting tasty meals from the animals you kill. But when you’re planning to add the challenges of backpacking on top of the challenges of hunting, I think you should keep it simple.
Cooking in the Blind
One does not have to live through a day of waterfowl hunting on snack cakes, candy bars, apples, and jerky. I know cooking in the blind can be a full course meal as seen in some magazines, but here, we are talking about something good to eat, easy to pack in, easy to clean up and typically gets folks to ask for more.
